There is a hidden Mickey that can be faintly seen in the clouds, on the left side of the cover of the Lion King, just below baby Simba's feet.

I was surfing through Disney's website and linked to the Lion King page. There's a tri-circle Mickey at the bottom of the page where you can link to other Lion King sites. It's on the book icon to link to "story"

During the opening song, as the camera scrolls to do an overhead view of several lakes, watch closely to see one, I think it's in the upper left-hand corner of the screen, to see a lake that looks a lot like Mickey's head!!!!!
REPORTED: Sherry 09 FEB 99
As Mufasa is explaining to Simba that "The kings of the past" watch over us from the stars, the camera is slowly pulling back to reveal the upper left corner of the star field. In the letterbox edition, there is a full form Mickey outline watching over them, which is fully revealed just before the shot ends.
Can you see it? No, you might want to checkout the hilighted frame. Note that this may not have shown up in the VHS editions
because of cropping in the video transfer.
REPORTED: D. Keith Brezinsky 21 AUG 97
After Mufasa talks to Simba about "the kings of the past", the movie shows Scar and the hyenas. After a short while Scar starts to sing and the song begins with some "Humms" On the 3rd Humm look at the green poof of smoke on the left hand side towards the middle, you will see a Mickey head.

When Scar is about to sing "Be Prepared" there are four poofs of green smoke. I can confirm that there is a definent Hidden Mickey formed in the third poof. It is a side view, and the nose is pointing to the right.

At the part where Simba is singing "I just can't wait to be king.." When the part with the animals all whispering to each other, to the girrafe to the monkey etc... At the monkey, pause and advance frame by frame.. the next scene is one of Zazu (the dodo) brushing himself off, and then getting lifted up. Look carefully at the dust that he brushes off himself on the RIGHT SIDE OF THE SCREEN.. The dust clouds form the head and two ears and one little cloud floats up and joins them to become the nose, and forms an UNDISPUTABLE PERFECT HALF-FRONT HALF-PROFILE HIDDEN MICKEY FOR ALL TO SEE. for about 1-3 frames. YAY!!!!
REPORTED: David Alexandrou 07 JUN 00
I initially heard about this Mickey on R.A.D.. I verified it.
It occurs during the song "I Just Can't Wait To Be King." On Simba's sung line
"Everybody look left," the animals trample over him. Hidden in this
image, is a
outline of Mickey's head. Three yellow and one red berry form the classic Mickey head for just
few frames. And they expect you to see it at 24 frames a second! Keep your eyes
peeled...
REPORTED: P Pollard 18 JUN 96
I've seen the image in the link and just don't see the Hidden Mickey. How can four berries make a three-circle Hidden Mickey? Maybe it's a full-head profile Hidden Mickey, but again, I just don't see it.
WISHFUL THINKING: Melanie Emmons 22 JUN 96
I looked at the clickable map of "I just can't wait to be
king" and the Hidden Mickey that is reported as three yellow
berries and one red one looks nothing like Mickey. Instead
there is a clump of berries made of a big red berry and two
smaller green berries. This looks a lot more like Mickey's
head than the other one.
WISHFUL THINKING: Erin Doremus 19 JUL 96
The Lion King "EVERYBODY LOOK LEFT,EVERYBODY LOOK RIGHT" scene there is a Mickey on one of the vines on the ground some berries one the right hand side make a Mickey one red berry and two yellow berries make a Mickey.

In the scene right after CYFTLT, Simba and Nala are standing on a fallen
log. There is greenery in the background and behind that, a waterfall.
You can see the waterfall through an opening in the greenery above and
behind them that reminded me a lot of Mickey's head.
REPORTED: Charles P. Buchanan 10 JUL 94
In the scene where Mufasa appears on the night sky. The clouds forms a

During "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" when the monkeys are picking fluff out
of Zazu's hair a small yellow hidden Mickey is there.
REPORTED: detelony 06 MAR 01
When Scar has finished telling Simba that a supposed secret is "to die for", in the gorge, before the stampede, the camera angle switches to a bird's eye view of the gorge, and as it pans out, you can see that the top of the tree forms an upside down Mickey head. Not the most circular one you could find, but, there nonetheless. I'm surprise no one has spotted this one yet! :)
REPORTED: Lorna 15 AUG 01
In the elephant graveyard scene, the eyes of the elephant skull seem like
two Mickey ears without the head. Most of the elephant skulls after this
also look like this. The one where the hyenas come out is the most
noticeable.
REPORTED: esme 13 JUL 94
The shadows between the 2 skeletons on the far left when the hyenas start to chase after simba form the "classic" Mickey shape. it's undeniable!

After Simba talks to Scar and before he talks to Nala, he runs down a rock path toward his mother, Nala, and Nala's mother. Right before it goes to a closeup of Simba talking to Nala, in the backround, there is a very, very faint outline of a Mickey face.
REPORTED: JOSHUA JACKSON 22 JAN 97
When adult Nala meets adult Simba in the jungle, they go down to a water fall. She drinks from and when it is a side view the ripples come out from the water when she drinks it inside the ripples appear 2 smaller circles which creates a tri-circle on the ripples this happens twice.

Just as Scar hits Simba's mother and she goes flying and hits the ground,
her head is in a Hidden Mickey. It is messed up a little but if you look
at it, it is an outline of Mickey. Her head is directly in it as she is
lying on the ground.
REPORTED: Brandon L. Schukei 27 JUL 94
Just as Simba looks up into the sky and the "storm" is happens and
just as Mufasa is appears in the clouds, look to the left of his head.
The Hidden Mickey appears twice that I saw. It appears black and then goes away and
then reforms in the clouds, of course. Just to the left of Mufasa's head as he starts to form and speak a Hidden Mickey forms twice in the clouds. It comes up black then goes away and then reforms again.
